Fortnite C2 Season 2: Five big changes you should know about

Finally, after four long months, Epic has released the next season in the second chapter of its hit game Fortnite. As players had hoped, this update was a major one, clocking in at around 7GB in size with changes to many aspects of the game, both big and small. If you’re just getting off school or work and planning to fire up Season 2, here are the biggest changes you should know about.

Spy theme:

Fortnite C2 Season 2 has a spy theme as demonstrated by the trailer published below (this is the same video that plays when you sign into the game for the first time post-update). The game’s various updates, namely the two new locations and the Battle Pass/Challenges screen, closely follow this theme.

Five new POIs:

The game retains all of its old Points of Interest (POIs), but has received five new ones, most of them small. These locations can be easily spotted by looking at the map — Epic has them greyed out with three question marks on top so that you can tell where you still need to visit. These five new locations are called:

The Shark
The Yacht
The Agency
The Grotto
The Rig

Henchmen:

Some of these new locations are filled with bots referred to as the ‘Henchmen.’ As with the Stroomtroopers we saw during the Star Wars crossover, these Henchmen are machine-operated and capable of chasing after you and shooting you on their own. One of the season’s initial challenges requires you to deal damage to these Henchmen.

You can find them on The Yacht near Steamy Stacks and at The Rig, which is the oil rig off the coast near Holly Hedges. The Henchmen aren’t present in Team Rumble mode, so keep that in mind when trying to complete challenges.
